The Grey-rumped Bush-Shrike is a common species, fre- 

 quenting forest, scrub, and bush country. It is a noisy 

 bird. 



Nests and eggs have been taken from March to July, and 

 in December and January. The nest is usually built in a low 

 bush, but I have taken one fifty feet up. It is composed 

 of rootlets and bark-nbres, to which are added bits of lichen 

 and cobwebs. The eggs, usually two in number, are greyish 

 white, spotted and streaked with brownish grey and grey, 

 mostly about the larger end. 



Localities. Banga, Kabulamuliro, Kirrilema, Kiriri, and 

 Mabira, in Uganda.
